ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Chiefs are "evaluating" a shoulder injury for WR Xavier Worthy.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice has been leaving training camp practice early each day for knee rehab, according to Ron Kopp Jr. of Arrowhead Pride. Rice had knee surgery in May, followed by a 30-day jail sentence for violating probation. Kopp also relayed a video of Rice running a post (against no defenders) and it looked…less than stellar. Rice’s slow foot speed and lumbering movement wouldn’t beat any NFL CB in man coverage. He is clearly still recovering from his injury and surgery.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Friday that WR Rashee Rice (knee) “is doing great” and is “cleared to go" for the start of training camp. It was a tumultuous offseason for Rice, who had right knee surgery in mid-May and was sentenced to 30 days in jail just a few days later. But he's not expected to face further punishment from the league, and his knee appears on track for Week 1.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is scheduled to be released from jail today. He served a 30-day sentence for testing positive for THC, violating the terms of his probation. It sounds like that'll be the end of the discipline for that incident. Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio writes that, "The league has shown no inclination to impose further punishment on Rice for his probation violation."

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice underwent surgery on his right knee a week ago to remove loose debris that was causing inflammation, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's the same knee in which Rice tore the LCL in September 2024. This latest procedure is expected to sideline him for two months, according to Schefter. That timeline would have Rice back on the field by mid-July, just before the start of training camp. But his recovery is complicated by the fact that he'll spend the next 30 days in jail after violating the terms of his probation.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice tested positive for THC, violating the terms of his probation from his 2024 car crash, according to Matt Foster of KSHB41 in Kansas City. Per court records, Rice was placed in custody and ordered to serve 30 days in jail. He's set to be released on June 16.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Chiefs' WR Rashee Rice "has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal conduct policy" and will not face discipline "at this time." The league investigated assault allegations from Rice’s ex-girlfriend spanning an 18-month stretch from 2023 to 2025, but closed the case without action. Rice is now on track to open the season as Kansas City’s No. 1 WR in Week 1.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is facing civil assault charges in Texas. Rice's ex-girlfriend, Dacoda Jones, alleges that he assaulted her over an 18-month span from 2023 to 2025 and is seeking over $1 million in damages. Rice, through his attorney, has denied the allegations. "On October 9th, 2025, well after the parties' relationship had ended, Ms. Jones stated under penalty of perjury in a sworn Affidavit for Non-Prosecution that 'Mr. Rice and I had a verbal argument, but he did not punch me,'" Rice's attorney said in a statement.

The Chiefs placed WR Rashee Rice on IR with his concussion. He'll miss the final two games of the season. It's probably for the best for fantasy managers: Rice would have been tough to trust with QB Chris Oladokun. WR Tyquan Thornton (concussion) is also landing on IR, leaving Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Marquise Brown as Kansas City's likely top three WRs for the final two weeks. We'll see if rookie WR Jalen Royals gets involved, but this is a WR corps to avoid in all fantasy formats.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (concussion) won't practice on Tuesday, HC Andy Reid said. That leaves Rice as a long shot to clear protocol in time for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. WR Tyquan Thornton (concussion) also remains sidelined and will likely miss the Denver game. That'll leave Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, and JuJu Smith-Schuster as Kansas City's top three WRs, with Chris Oladokun at QB. The Chiefs are currently implied for 12.0 points.

The Chiefs believe QB Gardner Minshew tore his left ACL in the loss to the Titans, according to Chiefs Digest's Matt Derrick. Minshew is scheduled for an MRI to confirm, but he likely becomes the second straight Chiefs QB to suffer a season-ending knee injury. Kansas City will be down to QB Chris Oladokun the rest of the way. The 28-year-old, 2022 seventh-round pick had not thrown a regular-season pass before going 11-of-16 for 111 yards vs. the Titans today. Other than maybe WR Rashee Rice and TE Travis Kelce, the Chiefs' passing game will be hands-off against the Broncos in Week 17.
